Sebastian politely said, "Hey sis, I haven't received any concrete news of Dad's death yet. When or if I receive any news, I'll surely let everyone in the family group know"Sebastian's sister said, "That's great. We're all sad about Dad's demise.""Who told you that something has happened to Dad?" Sebastian asked."The old mansion told us that Dad could not be contacted. Sebastian, I was waiting for you to contact all of us, but you did not—""I'm not trying to hide it, but we haven't been able to contact Dad for only a day. I'm not sure what has happened to him. How could I just simply say that something has happened to him? What if he returns?" Sebastian said. "If he returns and sees us thinking he was dead, he would only be furious.""Okay, then. I thought you would have some concrete news!""I don't.""Alright. Sebastian, I'm just prying now. Do you know the contents of Dad's will?" His sisters knew that Sebastian was Dean's heir, and they envied him for it. They also knew
"Haha! I'll have a way of getting your Mommy to accept this. Don't worry and just go to school!"After Layla left, Robert finished his milk and walked over. He also looked into the bag."Robert, baby, are you going to school too? I really want to spend more time with you." Lilith picked Robert up. She was reluctant to let him go.Robert smiled innocently. "Then, I won't go to school! I'll play with Aunt Lilith! I'll get Daddy to tell my teacher that I'm not going to school today!"Lilith could not help but snort and chuckle."I can play with you on the weekends! If you don't go to school, I'm afraid your Mommy will blame me! Your Mommy did very well in school; she was the school genius!" Lilith carried Robert outside. "Why don't I send you to school? I haven't sent you to kindergarten before!""Okay! I'll tell you how to get there, and you can have a look around!" Robert looked proud and Lilith took him out.Not long after they left, Avery, done with her shower, went downstairs.
Elliot walked over to Avery. He noticed the dressing gown on the sofa and immediately picked it up to have a look.He slid his arms through the sleeves, trying it out for size."It looks good on you." Avery straightened the dressing gown and tied the belt around his waist.Lilith secretly sighed. There was nothing she could do about them."Just wear it! Anyway, even if you start wearing it now, it'll still be fine come Christmas," Lilith said with a smile."Lilith, you overestimate your brother. He has never worn out his clothes." Avery did not catch Lilith's Christmas comment. After all, clothes were meant to be worn."I know Elliot has a lot of clothes," Lilith said. "Ben has a lot of clothes too. I asked him why does he have this many clothes, and he told me that the amount of clothes he has is nothing when compared to the amount of clothes Elliot has.""Hmm, Elliot likes to dress up more," Avery teased before asking, "Lilith, you came over so early. You surely haven't had
"Hmm," Avery said and looked at Elliot, "You should be quite busy with your company too, right? You can now use the computer, but you have to manage your time properly. You have to rest once you feel dizzy."Receiving Avery's permission, Elliot nodded in relief.After breakfast, Elliot headed to the study room.Lilith pulled Avery to the living room to look at wedding gowns, makeup, and shoes.Avery looked at them seriously. She was more serious about inspecting the items before her than she had been looking at her own wedding items. "Lilith, I think this white dress looks nice. You can wear it to greet the guests. I think the longer version of this dress is nicer. You're tall. You'll look angelic wearing a long gown! A person of ordinary height like me has to get a custom-made gown if I want it long." Avery looked at the two sets of gowns in the picture and chose the long gown without hesitation.Lilith did not dare to tell her the truth that the dress and accessories she had c
Lilith felt relieved after hearing what Avery had to say. "Avery, you and Elliot complement each other. Elliot looks like a hard-to-deal-with person, yet you are nice and accommodating," Lilith said, fawningly."That's because you don't understand him. Take his servants for example. They have worked there for many years…""That doesn't necessarily mean that Elliot is nice to be with! This only proves that he treats everyone well and that is why they put up with him." Lilith had her own opinions about him. "I'm just praising you, and if I were a man, I would like a woman like you. You are able to care for your family and your career at the same time.""Lilith, you're being a sweet talker. Are you trying to ask me for a favor?" Avery blushed from the praises. "We're not outsiders. You don't have to flatter me.""Now, even if I have any troubles, Ben can help me solve them. I'm about to marry him. Of course, if there are any problems, I'll turn to him," Lilith said cheekily. "And I
"Avery, what is it?" Lilith noticed that Avery looked disturbed, and she immediately said, "If something is going on, I won't disturb you. I came here today because I had nothing to do."Avery got up from the sofa. "Did you drive here?""Yes! I came by myself." Lilith immediately stood up from the sofa. "I'll see myself out. You don't have to send me off.""I'll see you out." Avery placed her phone down and walked Lilith to the door. "Come with Tammy the next time.""Okay, we'll let you know before we come over." "Hmm."After sending Lilith off, Avery quickly returned to the living room. She picked up her phone and dialed Sebastian.He soon picked up."Avery, my Dad is dead.""I saw the message. How did he die? Where is Natalie? Have you managed to contact her? Does this thing have anything to do with Holly or not?" asked Avery. "I don't know. I only know that he is dead. Someone had sent me a photo of him, and they had put a bullet through him." Sebastian was feeling cold
"Do you think that Natalie will fight me for the family fortune?" Sebastian asked.For a few moments, Avery thought about what he said in silence before saying, "From what I know about Natalie, I think that she will try to find ways to gain control of Dean's fortune. She could have been the one who killed Dean, and this means that she has tactics that are greater than anything you could have ever imagined." Sebastian was already nervous and panicky. After hearing what Avery said, his heart beat even faster."Sebastian, are you worried that you are no match for Natalie?" Avery asked. "Don't be afraid. If you are sure that your father is dead, go and quickly contact your father's lawyer. At the same time, increase your security.""Hmm. How is your husband?" asked Sebastian as he suppressed his worries. "He is recovering quite well. He could start working from home.""It looks like Angela's resurrection treatment is really a scam," Sebastian sneered."If it had truly existed then
Sebastian soon found the contact of his father's lawyer. He called him.The lawyer soon answered the call.After Sebastian explained the situation, the lawyer said, "I also haven't been able to contact your father for the past two days. Usually, we contact each other every day." "He has been murdered, but I don't know where his body is. I have already reported it to the police yesterday. They are searching for him, but I don't know if they can find his body," said Sebastian. "If I still can't find him today, I'm going to increase the number of people searching for him." "Sebastian, you have my condolences. Your father died so suddenly, but… forgive me for speaking out of line. Don't be too sad, your time has come." The lawyer's hints were very obvious. "When are you free? Let's have tea!""Okay." Sebastian understood what the lawyer meant. "I'm free right now. I'll meet up with you, and we can have some tea. My treat." "Okay, I'll wait for you."…Natalie was in one of the h
